Key Quotes
“It's so easy to get on a treadmill, to have the corporate job, to, you know, make the millions of dollars to get the license. But can you honestly say, when you put your head on the pillow at night, I'm proud of the life that I'm living”
“Interesting book. The Five Regrets of the Dying... the top regret is, I wish I lived a life true to me, not the life others expected of me. And I think that statement is less about dying, but more about truly living. But we wait until it's too late to learn that most important lesson”
